Chapter 4057: Chaos Energy

“A Spirit Treasure that could move the Sect Master…”

Zhuge Qingyang stroked his beard again, lost in thought. He didn't overthink it, subconsciously assuming that Ye Bufan wanted to find a treasure to exchange for the bodhi heart.

After a moment of contemplation, his eyebrows suddenly perked up. “There was once a rumor that the Immortal Paradise contained Chaotic Origin Energy.

If anything could move the Sect Masters of the Five Great Sects, it would be a sacred treasure like that.”

As he finished speaking, a look of shock flashed in Ye Bufan's eyes.

He Cultivated the Chaotic Immortal Art and had obtained the second Legacy of the Ancient Medical Sect, so he naturally understood Chaotic Origin Energy very well.

Chaotic Origin Energy was the purest Origin Qi left behind when the world was first formed. This substance was absolutely one of the most top-tier Spirit Treasures, without a doubt.

If he could obtain enough Chaotic Origin Energy, it was no exaggeration to say that his Chaotic Immortal Art would advance like a broken bamboo, reaching the Immortal Emperor Peak in one go.

For the Sect Masters of the various Sects, this was an even rarer treasure.

After all, once one reached the Five-Rank Saint Emperor, further advancement was as difficult as ascending to heaven. But if one could comprehend Chaotic Origin Energy, it would be entirely different.

After all, Chaos gives birth to all things, which greatly helps powerful cultivators comprehend and control more elements.

However, this item was only mentioned in legends, and very few people had ever seen it. He had never even heard anyone mention it in the Immortal Realm, so he didn't expect such a good thing to exist in the Immortal Paradise.

At this moment, Zhuge Qingyang added, “This rumor has existed for tens of thousands of years, ever since the Immortal Paradise opened.

But after so many years, no one has been able to find it.”

Light flickered in Ye Bufan's eyes: “Senior Zhuge, according to your estimation, where in the Immortal Paradise might one find Chaotic Origin Energy?”

He had just asked many details about entering the Immortal Paradise and learned that the opening period was only seven days. After seven days, everyone who entered would be sent out.

With such tight time and an extremely difficult task, the more information he could get, the better.

“Although the Immortal Paradise is vast, after so many years, the powerful cultivators who entered have almost explored every inch of it.

Everyone has discussed it, and if there's anywhere that could have Chaotic Origin Energy, it would probably only be the Reincarnation Forbidden Ground.”

“Reincarnation Forbidden Ground? What kind of place is that? Why is it called that?”

With a specific direction, Ye Bufan immediately became excited, throwing out his questions one after another.

“That place is extremely strange. I once went there. The reason it's called that is because there's a stone tablet standing in front of the Forbidden Land.

It says ‘Reincarnation Forbidden Ground, Three Lives’ Gaze Back’.

This place was named after this stone tablet, and all the powerful cultivators who visited it called it the Reincarnation Forbidden Ground.”

“Oh!”

Ye Bufan nodded and then asked, “Did Senior enter? Why do you say Chaotic Origin Energy would be there?”

“No.”

Zhuge Qingyang shook his head. “When I found the Reincarnation Forbidden Ground, it was already close to the seven-day limit. I searched for a long time there but couldn't find an entrance, and I was soon teleported out.

As far as I know, it was the same for everyone else. Although they reached the Reincarnation Forbidden Ground, they couldn't explore its depths.

Precisely because of this, I speculate that if there truly is Chaotic Origin Energy in the Immortal Paradise, it must be within this Reincarnation Forbidden Ground.”

Ye Bufan asked again: “Why couldn't Senior find the entrance? Was there a Formation there? Or some other reason?”

“That, I don’t know.”

Zhuge Qingyang said, “My entire life has been dedicated to the Dao of Alchemy. What I care about most is Alchemy. In comparison, my Cultivation and combat power are not my strong points, and I know nothing about Formations.”

Ye Bufan thought for a moment: “Senior said that no one else has entered the Reincarnation Forbidden Ground. Is there a possibility that someone did go in, but didn't say anything after coming out?”

Zhuge Qingyang was slightly surprised, then nodded: “That's also possible!”

At this point, Ye Bufan was almost certain that Xuanji Emperor was heading for the Reincarnation Forbidden Ground, and only a treasure like Chaotic Origin Energy could make him expend so much effort.

At this moment, Zhuge Qingyang's expression became serious: “Pill King Ye, this time entering the Immortal Paradise, I must trouble you to do something for me.”

Ye Bufan had a very good impression of this old man: “Senior, please tell me what you need.”

Zhuge Qingyang said, “Please keep an eye on Xie Hongying for me.”

Ye Bufan was somewhat surprised, “Senior, what do you mean? What do you need me to pay attention to?”

He had only seen this woman once before and didn't know much about her, only that she was the Disciple of Grand Elder Luo Rong.

“Normally, although Xie Hongying is also a Genius Disciple of the Alchemist Guild, her strength is far inferior to Hua Qiqi's. However, this time she suddenly made a comeback, defeating Mu Ji and Chu Jiuyu in one fell swoop.

If you hadn't emerged out of nowhere, the throne of the Dan Wang would have already fallen into her hands.”

“Oh!”

Ye Bufan nodded. Previously, he wasn't part of the Alchemist Guild, so he hadn't paid it much mind.

Now, upon careful thought, it did seem a bit off.

After all, there were no shortcuts in the Dao of Alchemy; someone like himself was an extremely special existence.

Zhuge Qingyang's expression was grave, “This matter is of great importance. It's fine that she got second place for now.

Once she sits on the throne of the Dan Wang, the presidency of the Alchemist Guild will also belong to her. Even if I have already designated Qi Qi as the successor, it will be useless.

There's no other way. After all, the Dan Wang's halo is too dazzling and can suppress all opposing voices, not to mention that Grand Elder and his people are fanning the flames.”

Ye Bufan said, “Is the President suspicious that she was taken through Possession? I'm sure you've already checked, haven't you? Didn't you find anything wrong?”

“That's right, after the competition, this old man deliberately checked, but unfortunately, I couldn't find anything, which is why I must ask Pill King Ye for help.”

Zhuge Qingyang attached great importance to this matter, as it concerned the successor of the Alchemist Guild.

If Xie Hongying was innocent, he would be happy that the Guild had gained another Genius.

Conversely, if there was something strange about her, or if she was truly taken through Possession and her Physical Body occupied, then she must be removed as soon as possible, otherwise, it would be extremely detrimental to the Alchemist Guild.

“Don't worry, Senior, I will pay attention.”

Ye Bufan also felt that there was something strange about this matter. Xuanji Emperor was a powerful cultivator who had undergone Rebirth, which was why he possessed such profound Alchemy attainments.

It was highly likely that Xie Hongying had also been taken through Possession; otherwise, it would be truly difficult to explain.

After bidding farewell to Zhuge Qingyang, he returned to his room, setting up over a dozen Restrictions before beginning Alchemy.

Strength was always paramount. He had already gathered the Materials for the Emperor Earth Pill before, but he couldn't refine it due to insufficient Cultivation.

Now that his Mental Energy had Broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm, refining it posed no difficulty whatsoever.

A quarter of an hour later, the rich Medicinal Pill fragrance wafted everywhere, and nine Medicinal Pills flew out of the Pill Furnace, all of them High Grade.
